Very nice shot Himadri! Great wing position and I really like included vegetation at the boom of the picture with the water droplets.

A great image, Himadri. A handsome specimen, and a beautiful flight pose with the wings extended forward. The water droplets are the perfect finishing touch. To take nothing away from this fine image, an optional very attractive version would be a horizontal crop an inch or so above the vegetation. Then you would lose the habitat, so it is a trade off. Great work.

This has a lot going for it......flight shot, water droplets, and habitat. Beautiful image and unique.

Thats a very different look on a flight image including the vegetation and having the image in portrait mode. Which IMO works really well

Wing position and detail is great. And of course the water drops

Nice timing to catch this dabbler in full liftoff. The habitat and trailing droplets of water makes this for me.

Great capture, with the water drops and the different textures of the BG, from the leaves, to the water, to the out of focus grass, trees, a brown layer of mountains? and finally the blue sky.
